I use the latest RPI with Picoreplayer. I have connected a Dragonfly 1.2 USB DAC.

On the headset i hear the music but it's very low volume and the player volume is on 100%?

Doe anyone know how to push the volume?

Hi,

You will need to putty into your Pi and add a few lines of script to increase the volume. The script will also retain settings if you reboot your Pi. I had to do it when attaching my Dragonfly to the Touch.

This is the script:

amixer -c 1 set PCM 5dB+

Look at pages 192 onwards on the EDO thread. Hopefully this should work for you, but I'm no Linux expert so best of luck.

I executed the code in Squeezelite but still no sound (very soft). It seems that the squeezelite hardware mixer still isn't activated.

What do try next?

Try this?

SSH into the pi:

User name: tc

Passwd: piCore

Type alsamixer, press enter.

PressF6, select card from drop-down and adjust the volume using the up/down arrows on the keyboard.

Follow these instructions from Steen;

4. Next press escape to go to command prompt

5. Then save the changes to alsas config file by: sudo alsactl store

6. Save this file in piCore in order for it to survive a reboot: sudo filetool.sh -b

In order for piCorePlayer to use this alsa config file after a reboot, you must enable "use custom alsa settings" on the "tweak page" in piCorePlayers web-page

Next reboot - and hopefully it is working for you.

Edit: also you can try going back to v19l. I have just done this on a hifiberry digi+ which I upgrade in situ to v22 and seemed to lose a lot of volume, also alsamixer did not show the two outputs as before. I went back to 19l and the output volume is the same as a SBTouch into the same DAC.
go figure!
